Those of you who read my posts and have awesome memory know I have PCOS and trying to conceive. Today I went to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist. Hoping to receive assistance with having a child after not being about to conceive naturally without medication. She refused to help me, saying basically im fat which would cause complications and possibly kill my child or give it birth defects and recommended bariatric surgery. At least that is the way it registered in my head. According to her (and I wont argue) im morbidly obese and that would cause to many complications for a me, baby, labor and delivery if she were to help me get pregnant. Her suggestion was put me on birth control and metaformin (even though i stopped it in the past due to it making me sick)and to have bariatric surgery and get my BMI down lower than 30. Then come back and she would assist me. My issue is ive been gaining weight like crazy, within the past month ive gained 15lbs and no idea how. Ive seen a dietitian and weve developed a meal plan and the amount of calories i should be eating. I go to see my regular Endocrinologist at the end of this month and hopefully thats something they can help me figure out.
This whole day has really been a bummer. I know what I need to do and Ill do it but its just really brought up some past emotions ive worked so hard on getting past. All my life ive been insecure about my body/looks/weight. Finally ive learned to love myself no matter what size I am and realize im an awesome person with a kick butt personality...I have someone who loves me for who I am no matter what the scale or the mirror says to me. He knows the person I am and who I want to be and supports me, and protects me from the one thing who would always tear me to shreds...myself. And in a few short hours one person brought my whole world down and it made me feel like I should just dig a hole and lay in it. It just amazes me how I can come so far and feel so good just to have this situation break it down. Sad thing is what the doctor says is true, so I cant be mad like its someone just trying to insult me. I know what I need to do though and starting tomorrow ill put my life back on the right track, ill loose the mass amount of weight I need too and when I conceive and deliver a healthy baby I hope it comes out swinging punches and shes in the way lol. As for tonight though, im still a little lost, a little down, and little not myself. You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or

....The surgery is risky as CP has already mentioned, there have been those who have had major complications from those type surgeries...successes too I am sure, yet I wouldn't want to risk it., if it were me....I would definitely do some major research before considering having it....I would also have the thyroid scan completed to find out the reasons for the weight gain, it does sound like a thyroid issue...Meanwhile do not allow this to get you down especially what the doc said., and though I know you are hurt, offended I would take that and turn it around into something Positive...I would lose that unwanted weight for You!....and once you are able to become pregnant I would definitely choose another OB-GYN certainly not someone who simply cares for "making more money" and not the patients' emotional and physical well-being....I would not see that doc any longer much less allow the delivery of my child to be handled by someone with that attitude...But do these things for Yourself and Your future Child....Best Wishes hon...T/C
